veightpower: switch to the live timing window while watching the replay, and as it passes each sector point, the time for that sector will show up in white. You should see your 29.xxx T1 show up there. But Wes is right, the overall lap time won't show up anywhere in the replay itself, only in the replay title.

Man, I should do before-work sessions more often...got within a tenth of my previous questionable lap:

30.037
28.067

Average T3, but still almost 1sec better than my previous splits' lap.

In the tunnel, I'm trying to stay in the hatched area on the left for longer than I used to, and am now hitting the S/F line at 114mph (182-183kph).

Your turn, Chuk! :D

Was a tenth up until the final sector than matched my time exactly to the thousandth of a second lol. Next few laps and was 3 tenths up at the line, new splits:

T1 30.288
T2 28.375

Got abs at 8, and bb 3/7

Exit speed from that tunnel is quite a dice throwing job. I know how to do but don't know why it's faster.... S/F line at 184-185 kmh when done correctly, 220 my top speed.

Still have no idea why I'm losing so much in T2 :grumpy:
But the 1st-position-moderator hunt is open, so beware :sly:

About before-work session, I did it one this morning... but was very very slow compared to posted splits...... A bad awakening....

Gravitron Jan 27 2012 11:06 AM

In T2, the first double-left, I brake-tap, drop to 4th, and floor it over the rumbles, hoping I don't go wide into the bushes (before the hairpin).

Then on the S sections, just a quick lift-and-early-turn-in for the left(exit) of the first S, and again for the left(entry) of the second S. The right while exiting that second S I keep it flat out and go up to 5th. Smoothness and early-power-on in those S's can gain a few tenths.

The hairpin is all about luck for me...try to get left a little, brake hard, down to 2nd, and slow power-on.

I was using Matt's ABS 8 BB 7/9. :tup:

T1: 29.807
t2: 27.909
Exactly the same T3.

Someone needs to slow down before they get an infraction. ;)

Nice splits, mate. :tup:

I don't know whats gone on, in the live timing window the splits are what i listed earlier. But the best lap time shown on the far right is not the time i did. The best lap time shown at the top of the live timing screen isn't my time either. I got everything right on that lap.:indiff:

The total run time of the video is right and if i pause it at the split points on the map i get a 29:8 and a 28:7 or so.

My times are going up now i've been at it for 4-5 hours. I may have another try tommorow but as it is there isn't any point till i know what i did wrong.:ouch:

Gravitron Jan 27 2012 11:48 AM

It sounds like you've done nothing wrong, and that is the right replay. The "best lap" shown while the replay is playing is your previous best lap from that particular session, and can be ignored.

And you are in D3?:crazy:

EDIT: Read that wrong sorry.. :p
Still a very nice T1.:tup:

Thanks Jerry, I guess...:scared:
T1: 29.751
T2: 27.828


T1: 29.787
T2: 27.892
Expected to see a better T2...

veightpower Jan 27 2012 12:04 PM

I think i see whats happening, at the end of the day i have the time and i have the replay to prove it so i'm worrying about nowt i think.

Can't see me beating it . I'll try though.

Gravitron Jan 27 2012 12:12 PM

Cool. :tup: New guys should be prepared to post your replays to the Unofficial Results thread, which will be posted after the deadline on Monday. The podium getters in each Division are always asked to post replays, as well as any new drivers (and a few other random people as well), so they can be verified by their peer drivers.

See the GTP WRS - GT5 - Replay and Photo Upload/Download Guide thread for instructions.

Good to know.. I'm doing like this. I'm consistent in the hairpin: braking just after second kink, cornering in 3rd at about 75kmh, then 2nd and aiming for a late 55kmh apex. I just think I'm not consistent through esses. Too much steering.

BB 4/8, abs 1
I did a 2/8 and 3/8 try today, and doesn't feel that bad.

I was doing 2/8-3/8 early in the week but it was hard to keep the back end in line through the first corner. Seemed good everywhere else. 7/9 seems to be where it's at for me. ABS 8.

Brewing coffee. Racing On!

Calm down Wes :scared:

Great 3 way battle going on at the top of D2 - Great going Lucas :tup: And looks like you're getting happier with the wheel Matt :tup:

BB I'm using 2/10 ABS 10 - the Clubsport brake pedal is great for modulating brake force to avoid losing the rear in turn 1 and I'm trail braking all the way in. For the left hander in sector 2 (the first one, turn 4?) I'm finding it best to avoid the curb - it can bounce you wide and even if you don't hit the barrier, you lose speed up the hill and can't keep tight left over the curb before the hairpin. The hairpin is just a case of getting it tight in and straighten the front wheels as soon as possible - full throttle exit of you get it right. The last left in sector 2 is just a slight lift and full throttle through in 4th. Flat through the left/right in the start of sector 3 - avoid putting too much steering angle in, it scrubs off alot of speed. The right line there is vital to keep up speed and not hit the barrier - you also need to not be too far to the left coming out to set you up for the next left/right.

Latest splits,

Still got maybe 1 - 1.5 tenth's left if I can string it all together.

T1, 30.181
T2, 28.176

Allibubba99 Jan 27 2012 2:44 PM

Some sick splits you guys are posting!
My latest.
Al

30.494
28.900

DigitalBaka Jan 27 2012 2:50 PM

T1 30.518
T2 29.057

Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy! Yet somehow faster at the line by one point six. :odd: I can see where I need to be, just can't get the car there...yet.

NINE_HUNDRED Jan 27 2012 3:13 PM

.5xx up at the line. I put it down to the BB and ABS changes, I always forget to do it. I tried a few posted and it seemed to work :tup:

Messed up the first corner in T2, Ken Block would of been proud of it though.

30.244
28.440

I know I can go a bit faster in T1, but I think this is probably my limit as of lap times, I beat my target so I'm quite happy.

GTPorsche Jan 27 2012 3:30 PM

Small gain today. Didn't have much time to run. Screwed up T3 so I know I can do better.

30.631
28.879
